Scalp Tattooing or Scalp Micropigmentation is essentially the process of having your scalp tattooed to fill in bare spots and is an immediate solution to hair loss and there’s no invasive surgery, no scarring and no down time. Scalp tattooing can help women whose hair is thinning as well as help men that are totally bald by giving the appearance of some hair and the approximation of a hairline, albeit just a stubbly one. The man in the picture below has no hair on his head, the top and sides were tattooed to give the illusion of a buzzed or closely shaved head. Scalp tattooing can also camouflage scars on the scalp or shade areas where hair is thinning (see below pictures) to make hair appear denser.
